Feelings about Color

Lorelai was sitting on the couch and decided to share this thought:

"I like all the colors of the rainbow."

Me: "I know you do."

Lorelai: "Except dark green. Dark green makes me mad."

Camping

Me: "Lorelai, do you feel like you're camping?"

Lorelai: "Yeah, I want a mushroom on a stick!"

Me: "You mean a marshmellow on a stick?"

Lorelai: "...yeah."

It's All About the Visual

How a 4 year old negotiates with a 2 year old:


Lorelai: "Adawade, can you move, please?"

Adalaide does not move.

L: "Pretty please?"

Addy still does not move.

L: "Pretty please with a cherry on top?"

Nope, not moving.

L: "Pretty please with a cherry on top and rainbow sprinkles?!"

Adalaide steps aside.


Nicely done, Lorelai.

Not A Superhero

After picking up Adalaide's snoopy before Nora got it, I said: 
"Aha! I saved snoopy!"
Lorelai then followed with: 
"*sigh/eye roll* Mom...you're not a superhero."

Lorelai keeps me grounded.

Thoughts on Flying

Lorelai sees a plane flying in the night sky.

L: "Is that a plane?"
M: "Yep."
L: "Or maybe a helicopter."
M: "Maybe."
L: "Helicopters fly...like superheroes...and unicorns."

Lorelai and the Mountains

Driving into the hill country of New Mexico.

Lorelai: "Woah! Look at that big mountain...and that huge poop! Maybe a big huge dog did it."

Me and Chris: "Lorelai, those are bushes."

Chapstick Thief

I keep my chapstick by my bedside table. Not on the bedside table, because little children like to walk up and play with it; so I place it up on my windowsill where I thought it was safe from tiny hands. I noticed it was missing this afternoon. I looked all around the area. It didn't fall, it was completely gone. I then remembered waking up to Lorelai by my bed as she was messing with something. She walked off casually and I thought "ok, she didn't see that I was awake...5 more minutes." and I went back to sleep...but now, I am thinking that something that she was messing with was my chapstick.

Me: "Lorelai, did you take my chapstick this morning?"

LEL: "No." *quickly looks away*

Me: "Lorelai, did you take it?"

LEL: "Um.........I think so."

Me: "Where did you put it?"

LEL: "Um...I don't know...maybe...under my pillow?"

Sure enough, there it was.
